Oh boy, another HD-DVD resurrection thread. Even MS knows that would be a waste of money and time.

Frankly, it would be a technical nightmare too. Pretty much every HD-DVD replication line in existence has been scrapped, so simply to choose to go with HD-DVD disc producers would have to buy technology that no one else except Microsoft would need.

That is the definition of a bad idea, and it would probably end up costing MS and people who buy MS's new console more in the long run than anyone else.

HD-DVD is never coming back, ever. Digital distribution only maybe, but once again MS would be hurting the people who buy their console by not even giving them the option to play DVD's, let only Blu-Rays. Its just a bad idea.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
